In Linux Thunderbird is there a keyboard shortcut alternative to insert>Characters and symbols ? I have tried various combinations of fn-alt-shift ctrl but none seem to work.

In Firefox and other browsers the colour of a link changes when you click on it. In Thunderbird the colour of a link stays the same when you click on it. Is there a way to change that, so the visited links in a message are easy to spot?

Thunderbird's address book has columns for telephone numbers. Is there a feature or add-on that allows one to click on the telephone number and have it dial that number through a PC's modem? Wordperfect Office had that feature in its address book but it has been removed in versions that work with Windows 7. I feel lost without it.

Hi guys,

I was hoping there might be a feature or add-on that will allow me to automatically print an email after I send it. For the purpose of creating a paper trail we have to print out at least the 1st page of all emails sent to our clients. Love using Thunderbird and would like to keep using it. I know there is a feature in Outlook. Hope you guys have one too :)

Hello, I've spent a lot of time trying to figure this out and have had no success finding an answer online that works for me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

To see the incoming mail attachment it must be saved on the hard disk. After a while there are plenty of files in this folder. How to automatically clean this folder? Thank you.

I am setting up a client to receive emails from an online service request form.... he's not tech saavy and wants all incoming emails to print out on his printer upon arrival. When he gets in at the end of the day, he wants a stack of printed emails/forms from which he can return calls. I know this can be done in MS Outlook (ugh)... hoping you can do the same or better!! I'm a longtime user and rely on Tbird...

I wish to use Win8.1 FileHistory to "ghost copy" my email folders (along with MyDocuments) onto a backup computer on my local net. Is it possible to change the location of the PROFILES folder from its AppData/Thunderbird path to a MyDocuments path? Do I simply change the Profile.ini file in some manner? Thanks...

Hello - this image has been working fine in my Thunderbird signature, since I installed the signature about 6-7 months ago:

However, last week my signature stopped displaying the above link/image. When I write a new message the above image is no longer displayed in my message, ie a broken link image is displayed, however, the rest of the signature text, and a second signature image, is displayed as normal. Using Thunderbird 24.4.0, latest version. Anyone know why this has happened now, after working correctly for about 6-7 months. Thanks in advance. Regards, Tony Brown

Messages look great when I send them but when people reply I see my message was in dorky skinny letters which means that is what my recipient saw. I can fix this by checking "rich text" under "delivery format" but I have to do it each time I send an email. How do I set "rich text" as a default?

Thank you

I use two computers to access the same email account on Thunderbird. I have the same tags set up on both. For over a year now I have been able to tag an email on one computer and it will appear tagged on the other computer as well. However, just recently this has stopped happening. The tags I have applied on one computer no longer show up on the other computer. Any ideas on how to fix it?

I have found a way to export addresses using the "export" option inside the address book-however, I need to extract the addresses from my Sent folder specifically. Is there a way to copy and paste into an Excel file? Or is there a way to do this through Thunderbird?

I recently installed Thunderbird because I need to batch print a folder of emails. Apparently, older versions of Thunderbird allowed this function; but I can't find this print function on 24.4.0. I also have not been able to find any batch-printing add-ons via Mozilla.

Does anyone know of any reliable freeware that will allow me to print multiple email conversations/threads at once?

Thanks

When I begin to type a name into the To: line, can options appear from my address book so that I can just click on the option rather than have to consult my address book every time
